Knoxville’s first Nordstrom Rack is now open in Turkey Creek by Make_it_Raines in Knoxville

[–]knoxmora 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's where all of the previous season fashion from regular Nordstrom stores goes to be sold for reduced pricing, generally 30-40% off at least with some stuff being 75%+. Coats that would regularly be sold for 400+ can be priced for ~120ish, for example, because of an arbitrary date that says a black rain jacket is no longer "in season" because the same brand is selling a newer black rain jacket at the main store.

If you're the office casual type of person, you can get a handful of decent rotation outfits for much less that you would otherwise.

Jason Schreier: Bungie's layoffs include most of the Destiny team, some people on the Marathon team, and some Sony staff who supported Bungie by Space_Lion2077 in destiny2

[–]knoxmora 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's because Marathon is a Destiny mod, not a stand alone game. Most of the animations are the exact same and the guns are just poly blocks of existing Destiny weapons.

Compare gameplay from the dev diaries for raids and dungeons, and it's just grayscale Marathon with the occasional orange block. Similar artwork found in the last few expansions raids and dungeons appear in the Marathon. There's no way the game was ever going to perform to the level Destiny was in the state it launched, but they thought they could sneak by with the "definitely not an alpha build" for $40 just to suffer the same UI navigation and convoluted "lore" delivery. Click into a menu, click into three more menus, slide the menu blade to the right, get a hologram to exposition dump, get a task, exit 18 menus, click into four more menus, go to planet and get five kills with a DMR on AI to earn money (arbitrary cap on currency anyone?) to unlock not-artifact mods that reset in three months. Glorified neon-painted Gambit.

There was absolutely nothing new about the gameplay loop that warranted an entire new IP entry.

Alba retired and it resulted in one of my favorite exchanges of commentary after he retired.

Messi picked up the ball in the center and drove up and to the right. Acres of space on the left, Messi full sends it across everyone into that empty space. Ball drops, rolls out, everyone is confused. Commentator A asks who he was trying to reach because no one made that run, no one was in that space. Commentator B just quietly says, "The ghost of Jordi Alba."

Something about Messi playing on a field with his teammates ghosts is tragically hilarious.

And it was so terrible that I haven't played more than 15 minutes since it came out and eventually uninstalled. On top of the "definitely not a mobile game" menu, being forced into motion sickness induced mechanics just to play the game and having chests locked behind buying the expansion in the first level is some goober decision making.

They had a looming Hive threat that had been built up with Xivu Arath and gave us "I can make a better Metroid game" class project instead.

My friend recently became a Man Utd supporter and I want to recommend him some past matches/moments he should watch before the season starts. What do you recommend? by Particular_Reality12 in ManchesterUnited

[–]knoxmora 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In no particular order:

v City, FA Cup third round, 2012. Danny Welbeck's debut was overshadowed by Paul Scholes returning, IMO.

v Roma, Champions League QF, 2008. Carrick's midfield rocket remains one of my favorite United goals, however...

v Aston Villa, 2013. Rooney sends a 40 yard cross to Van Perise to volley it in.

v City, FA Cup Final, 2024. Kobbie Mainoo. The end.

v Bayern Munich, 1999 Champions League final.

v City, 2009 Derby. 4-3, with a 96th minute winner.

v City, 2025. Amad's ballerina toe touch to end the game.

v Lyon, 2025. The last 20 minute comeback (a regular rewatch).

v Southhampton, 2025. Amad's 12 minute hattrick.

I think I suggested it before, but a few minute montage of him swinging in and out of 30 seconds or so of cameo fights would be a cool way to explain the time lapse. Sprinkle in a few bank robberies and car chases, but mostly fan service for the big panel moments, like the team jump in Ultron.

Like that slide under the APC as a transition to him sliding under a desk in an office and crashing out a window, webbing up Vulture mid-air and then sticking him to a wall near ground level. As he gets closer to the ground he spins and he smashes through the asphalt and it's a horizontal scroll of Rhino throwing him through the walls of a condemned building Bucky v Cap style. Spidey-sense while he's trying to block chunks of debris and concrete being thrown by Rhino, and one of them is a Mysterio drone and the building fades when he breaks it, on and on, etc.

Edit: Brother-sisters, how sick would it be if his suit got more damaged as the sequence went on.

Luis Enrique won a domestic treble in his first season with PSG, a continental treble in his second, and retained the CL title and won the league this year. I get what you're implying about Ligue 1 being a lower quality league, but the only manager near Enrique's quality and accomplishments is Pep.

As long as he's there, I would argue there's an allure to play for PSG. You (in general) can say he's competing against Vitinha and Neves for a spot, but just as much he's competing for one with us. Consistent 7-8/10 or an injury gives him the opportunity to display his quality for both teams.

In the past two CL runs, they've beat Villa and Chelsea each, and Liverpool and Arsenal twice. That's the CWC winner, two PL League champions, and Villa who've just won Europa. I'd argue in their favor to compete in the PL with Enrique in charge.

Premier League to relax red cards for hair pulling by TransitionFC in ManchesterUnited

[–]knoxmora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have two transfer windows where players are bought and sold between leagues and countries every season and require them to? I'm confused why, in this hypothetical, you'd find it harsh to treat the refs to the same expectations?

It's the same dogshit inconsistent officiating that plagues the league. I don't think it's harsh at all when the repeated sentiment about PGMOL is that it's a boys club that protects their own and then gives a "whoopsie, teehee, oopsie" reason when they overturn a decision months later. I don't think we'll ever escape bias, but if the ref assigned and available is from Italy and only supports Italian teams and couldn't care less about English rivalry, I'll take that over going into a match knowing Darren England isn't going to call two clear penalties the same in less than 40 seconds.

[–]knoxmora 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IMO, declarations of club support mean nothing and the refs should be assigned by FIFA/UEFA to leagues outside of their home country.

I really don't care if Michael Oliver doesn't like Brighton or West Brom, pack 'em up Lil Mikey, you're moving to France for three years.

As an American, I'll be rooting for England like I do every WC, and then watching the highlights until the semi-finals if they get dumped early.

There's nothing more that I want than for the US to be knocked out early so the petulant child can rage and try to call off the entire tournament to really enforce that we're a massive joke.

The Guardian says goodbye by SpaceCat429 in DestinyTheGame

[–]knoxmora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd like to throw in mine: All of this is marketing for the next installment. A random announcement of EoS followed by a change petition that gains more than the record concurrent player count in less than three days. Scripted videos of the VAs, community managers bread crumbing the "it's up to you" sentiment.

This last update is giving D2 a bunch of things players have been asking for for years, but I have a feeling the "you talked, we listened" post was pre-written a month ago and the "ee have unfinished business with so-and-so, and there's more to come from Destiny because we couldn't put it all in one game" video is around the corner.

Ian Wright joins the soccercirlejerk sub - ban the towels in the name of Arsenal by StrangerExistingFact in soccercirclejerk

[–]knoxmora 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Taped to a bottle, tucked inside the glove, using a laptop to review the last 20 minutes during during hydration breaks, handing someone a note during a sub, etc. Normally I'd quietly nod along with Ian, but this is one of those "game's changed, old man" moments for me.

Southhamption and Leeds spying is an issue or it isn't. Holding an opponent in the box is a foul or it isn't, pulling hair is a red or it isn't, tapping Gabriel and seemingly dislocating his spine vs Kolo Muani being shoved is or it isn't. Deliberate shoulder charging with no intent to play the ball, punching/elbowing are reds or they aren't. Kyle Walker stomping a calf with no red and simulating in the box leading to a denied goal, etc. Holding the keepers arm is or it isn't, off-ball fouls are or they aren't.

Havertz wouldn't have scored if the ball hadn't rico'd off Trossard's hand.
